    No. A clue though. It was a home win for England.

    Wow folks are struggling with this one.
    Another clue. Scotland were the away team and the King was suspended by the league shortly after the game ended.

    It seems Owen doesn't want to play (he must be busy). Does anyone else want to ask a question?

    The 152nd running of the Melbourne Cup is on today so I will be otherwise engaged as well.

    Are we Melburnians the only city in the world who have a public holiday for a horse race?;)
